    Stunning Haku Lei...
    Cody S.

    John is wonderful to work with! He carefully crafted a Haku Lei for my grandmother's 104th birthday celebration. As you can see by the smile on her face, she absolutely adored it. I felt extremely lucky to have been able to work with someone to create such a magical headpiece and he was equally appreciative and honored to take on the project. Hands down recommend!!!!

    John made this crown lei for my daughter's graduation. He helped us design and size it. John stayed in touch up to our picking it up. Well packaged with ice. Very pleased with results. Friendly and reliable.

    I contacted John for a couple of custom centerpieces for a baby shower. He was very responsive and asked for inspiration photos and some additional details to provide a quote which was very reasonable. The centerpieces were beautiful! The colors, flower selection, and arrangement were very well coordinated. I would highly recommend working with John for your custom flower needs.

    After searching the entire SF Bay Area for a florist that makes beautiful Hawaiian leis, I chose Flowers by Yip. John Yip offered the best assortment of leis with gorgeous designs, at a very reasonable price! Most other CA florists just offer single or double orchid leis with purple or white orchids, or carnations. John was able to make a double orchid lei with lavender orchids and even placed small clusters of pink rose buds in several spots around the lei, at my request, and with only a few days notice before my friend's birthday! John also took the time to call me from the flower market to provide me with flower options, and to allow me to select which flowers I preferred based on what was available. Just take a look at the beautiful photos of leis and flower arrangements on John Yip's website and you will see his artistry in floral design! I will be recommending John to anyone planning a wedding, a party, or needing a floral arrangement or Hawaiian lei for a special occasion!

    Sunflower bouquet

    I am so happy to have worked with Flowers by Yip. I needed a bouquet and a few boutonnières for a friend's wedding. The bride loves sunflowers and anything yellow. I reached out to John via text and our communication was very smooth. He is prompt in responding and he was knowledgeable about which flowers would go best with her vision. When I picked up the flowers, I can tell right off the bat that he is skilled and passionate about his work. I appreciated that the flowers were carefully wrapped and boxed for safe travels. I highly recommend Flowers by Yip and hope to use him again in the future!

    John is amazing at what he does. He made ordering so easy and seamless. He's so communicative and fast to respond. We ordered a haku lei for my daughter's senior portrait and it turned out exactly how we wanted it. We will use him for all our flower needs in the future. I've been to so many florists but he is truly the best.

    My wife contacted John with a special request to send a grieving friend a bouquet focused on very specific flower. He was wonderful about responding quickly, communicating clearly, and going above and beyond to fulfill the request. Thank you, John, for putting so much care and attention into your work! It was more than we could have hoped for and we are so grateful you enabled us to be there for our dear friend when we could not be there for her ourselves.

    I had an amazing experience with John, but nothing new there as you can see from his other reviews. I contacted John for a last minute birthday bouquet for my wife's 40th birthday; last minute because I'm a terrible husband. Anyway, despite being a holiday weekend and a Sunday, John was eager to help and I am forever grateful. Adding to the complication, it was during a wonderful Bay Area heatwave where we were expecting 110 degree temperatures. What an opportunity for success, right? John got creative and suggested an arrangement of "keepsake" flowers rather than giving me flowers that would die pretty much immediately in the heat and I am so glad for his ingenuity. Now, my wife has a beautiful bouquet of roses that will last weeks, months, maybe longer. Fantastic! To top it off, John met me in a convenient location on that Monday morning and seriously, I could not ask for more. Thank you again, and if I could give 10 stars I would.

    John Yip's Beautiful Birthday Arrangement for my wife this August 2020

    I have been using John Yip as my go to Florist for 3 years now. His artistry is nonpareil and I alwasys leave it up to him to make the design choices according to what he has avaiable to work with in the given moment. He was responsible and careful to follow covid protocols with his recent delivery for my wife's August Birthday.

    My fiancé was having an extremely stressful day. I thought surprise flowers might cheer her up and researched florists here in Santa Clara. After reading, I contacted John and he was extremely responsive. Within 90 minutes I had a fantastic arrangement for less than the budget number I had given! I'd highly recommend Flowers by Yip to anyone in need of high quality service.

    Beautiful, Contemporary Arrangement.

    I live in Dallas, TX. & wanted to send my sister in Santa Clara, CA. a breathtaking arrangement for her birthday. I have had it with those internet Pro Flowers, etc etc., the last experiences I have not been thrilled. I decided to use yelp and find a florist near my sisters home. After reading through the reviews I clicked on John's website. It said for faster service text him directly, which I did. I told him exactly what I was looking for, price, etc. He texted quickly back, I Venmoed him payment. John's communication was wonderful!!! He created a gorgeous arrangement, sent me a photo. He told me when he was out for delivery. My sister was thrilled!!! I highly recommend Flowers By Yip!!

    Ti leaf head lei

    John was extremely responsive when I contacted him for floral services. I wanted a ti leaf head leí for my baby shower and sent him a couple inspiration photos. He was easy to work with, his product was reasonably priced and the lei was absolutely gorgeous. Thanks John!

    I honestly don't even know where to start! I wanted to do something a little more special for my birthday gathering this year, and I thought it would be such a cute idea to wear a flower crown and provide simple crowns for my guests. I reached out to a few florists and many of them were already either booked up, didn't respond, or were way out of my price range. John reached out to me within minutes of my inquiry through Yelp, and even provided me with his personal number to make the communication process so much easier. I did procrastinate on this, and John only had 2 days notice to get my order together. He was so patient with me while figuring out exactly what I wanted. I let john know that I really didn't need anything too fancy, but when my husband brought home the crowns I was just AMAZED by the crowns. The main crown was so full and gorgeous, and the flowers were extremely fresh. The simpler crowns were the perfect design, just what I wanted. He messaged me the night before and let me know that the original material I wanted for the simple crowns were not as fresh, and provided an alternative with my permission first. The best part was John really worked hard on meeting my budget, and I am very thankful for that. This is my first experience with a florist who was completely organized and provided exactly what I wanted with great quality. I will definitely be reaching out to John for any future florist needs...honestly he may need to become my go to florist when I need a pick me up bouquet. Thank you John!

This is top tier gold; essentially the place one would think to gatekeep. My brother got my mom, a Mother's day bouquet and the quality was superb and different. Total gem. My brother might know the owners or something - can't recall. I believe he got her the -- Love You to the Moon Bouquet -- looking at the sample photo anyways. I've been purchasing their arrangements since 2022. Each friend who has received a birthday arrangement was in love/awe with their gift. --Timeless Bouquet-- (Perfect for someone is is classy, elegant, love neutrals, and beautiful things) In July 2022, Urban Flora texted me once the flowers were dropped off; I had the flowers dropped off outside as my friend was quarantining and was the point of main point of contact while keeping this a surprise. --Pink Sorbet Bouquet-- (Perfect for a lover of pink, someone with a vibrant personality, maybe someone into anime). In March 2025, Urban Flora will e-mail the purchaser that it has 'shipped' once it's about to be delivered and will e-mail the purchaser once delivered. It would also be my first choice for my man -- if only they delivered to his city which they do not -- might have to do a pick-up one of these days. I would not recommend Urban Flora for last minute custom for like a Condolence arrangement - I did reach out in 2023 but was not able to get a hold of them at the time. Otherwise whether you order the day prior (within a reasonable window frame - they can get the job done, orders prior to noon would be best for those situations -- and the more time you give in advance, the better the delivery experience and outcome. You definitely get what you pay for and 'the best bouquet' is the experience you are providing.

At the end of the day, I was simply told, "Sorry, we are sold out." As a result, I wasted time, and more importantly, the person I wanted to surprise was left without flowers. Because of the lack of communication, I was left in uncertainty and couldn't implement an alternative plan in time. This level of communication and organization is unprofessional. Situations like this can seriously disrupt customers' plans.

I snapped pics of all the flowers I liked, then I went into the greenery cooler - that one smelled so good and was even colder. I snapped more photos and then came out and chatted with Steven about my vision and what I was working with - I had 60 bud vases to fill so we decided on about 16 bundles that I liked and needed. Please ask about the discounted flowers they have - they are the roses that are too open for the florist shop, I got 25 pink roses for $5, I used those to sprinkle in the ocean for an ash scattering so it was PERFECT, Note - I came in 2 days before I needed my flowers, so he pulled them for me and put them in a bucket with my name on it so when I came back in, I pulled my bucket and went and pulled a few more bundles because I was missing a bit of yellow and paid for them They are wonderful, all the employees were super helpful and knowledgeable and the prices were pretty good!
